Nepal disaster management reference handbook 2015

The Center for Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (USA), produces country and regional reference books to provide a commonly available baseline of information regarding disaster management environments. This Disaster Management Reference Handbook Series is designed to provide decision makers, planners and responders a basic understanding of regional disaster management plans and structures, including information on key domestic organizations present in the region.

This country book focusing on Nepal is intended to be a reference for individuals deploying to conduct disaster preparedness engagements or disaster response operations in Nepal, but it is not meant to be a checklist or manual for all disaster response operations. The research team conducted extensive research and analysis on existing Nepal plans, policies, and capabilities related to disaster management and risk reduction.
